Bees and other insects play an important role in our ecosystem.  Without them, we wouldn't have any food to eat!  Join us in this 4-week FLEX course as we explore an apiary, interview a bee keeper, learn about and observe honey bees!  Find out why we need bees and what we can do to help them.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!  My name is Kristin.  I was a licensed Teacher in Oregon prior to having children (ages 8-12) and focusing on their education.  I earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching degree from Western Oregon University in Middle and Secondary Education for Science and Health.  

Most my classes focus in health and science, particularly the Middle School level, as I’ve found I enjoy that age group the best. I do have many interests and hobbies, so some classes venture outside the core academic realm and into hobby land.  We live in southern Colorado on a small ranch where we enjoy animals, gardening, and self sufficiency in a very challenging climate.

My goal is to instill a desire to learn with lessons that are meaningful and enjoyable. I remember sitting in a desk in front of a whiteboard, bored out of my mind, thinking, “There is no way I will EVER need to know this!”  Yet, when I became an adult, I quickly realized, that yes, I did need to know most of the information I was taught. I have needed to go back and relearn much of what I previously ignored as useless information. When you can apply information to your life it becomes meaningful.  I like lessons to focus on application: how can I use this knowledge in MY life; why do I need to know this?  I am so excited to meet your child and help them apply the knowledge they're acquiring to their life!
